theres a bug
The app appears to have a localization/UI bug: instead of displaying proper labels and questions, it shows raw internal translation keys (e.g. “onboarding_v2.questions.focusAreas.question”), making the onboarding process unusable. Because of this issue, I’m unable to complete the setup or use the app properly.

Getting worse with every update
First - the single tap was broken. And it took some time to find out that it can be changed back in the settings. Why don’t leave it as it is and just add a new setting for a new feature such as long press? Why break user experience.
Second - some “cheering” (but I would rather say annoying) notifications were added. And it’s not even possible to disable them.

need more improvement
love the simplicity of the app but have a small request: may we allow longer timeline for the study hours history section on the left? I can only access my history of study hours within 2 months but I also want to check my study hours happened a year ago. Shamely it cannot be shown....
Problem After last update
It stopped auto starts for breaks and focus session, even though u keep this on in settings.
Great tool from a great app
I really want to express how helpful this app has been to let me focus. I wouldn’t have imagined that tracking my focus and the time i invested in things, could relived my anxiety and make me more comfortable, aware and confident in my abilities and effort.
Im truly greatfull for thi amazing app and also for the wonderful designe, which my seem irrelevant for the functionality of the app, but it makes it more smooth and enjoyable to use.

Love it
But please fix iOS app, it still has lot of bugs that weren’t there before
Unable to mute and its under paywall
Was very good but now with this mandatory sound can’t go ahead. Sorry to leave this wonderful app. Now to mute Is under Pay wall.
I have updated but there is the bug still alive
Idk why but it works good in ipad, but in iphone, the bug is not fixed. Still it shuts down when i open the settings menu, and all of the texts are come out like “calendar.weekdays.full.blahblah~”. And this bugs is annoying me almost a week. I have reinstalled it multiple times and even i have tried to downgraded the ios from 26.3(dev version) to 26.2. But it still remains. Please fix it. This is my fav app. Due to this bug, i can’t focus on my study well.

What’s happened to Emphasis?
I’ve paid for the Emphasis app since late 2023. I dearly wish I could continue using it as I loved its simplicity, but it’s become oddly prescriptive and less customisable. Such a pity. I don’t want soundscapes playing, but apparently they can’t be turned off. It’s no longer possible to insert time of day periods. The app now feels rigid and programmed according to a single user’s preference.

Do not like the latest design
The design is getting more and more unclear… it’s becoming very hard to visualise how many hours you spent on doing certain work in certain weeks or months and you cannot see month on month easily… and if you want to see what you did in previous month, you have to click 5 times more than before to locate the study hours…. Also I don’t seem to find any way to tailor the colour or sounds of the profile . I have used this app for more than 2 years and its design is getting worse and worse. I regret paying for the membership.

Good but could be better
Pros : you can see timings of sessions, access stats and see your time spent across projects over weeks/months
Cons : startup time ( when you click to start the app) takes unacceptable long for no reason even on an IPhone 16Pro. This means if I go to start another session the app will take ages to start, so now there's a 5 minute gap between back to back sessions for no reason.

The new update is extremely glitchy
The app was so beautiful and functional before but now after the sonic sounds or whatever update I’m not able to properly clock in a single session; after I long press the timer the screen freezes, I can’t do anything or tap at anything or go to settings or pause the timer. Also one other very annoying design flaw is that when I want to look at yesterday’s focus situation I can only see my respective sessions but there is no place that shows the total time I focused for, on a specific day, say 18th November, I can’t see the total hours focused, I can only see the different sessions; what is the point of that? If I can’t even see how much total time I studied for (that’s what I use this app for) on a specific day?

Response from developer
Hey, thank you for reaching out! sorry for the bug with the long tap crash. I'm working on the fix, it will be available to you soon. In regards to total time stats in the day screen - you're absolutely right, I'm going to bring it back.
Не прогружается подписка, хотя она оформлена. Все стопорится на бесплатных 25 минутах.
Оформила подписку сразу на год с неделей пробного доступа. Но почему-то приложение не запомнило, что у меня подписка, и просит апгрейд тарифа. Хотя само по себе приятное и продуманное приложение по интерфейсу, звукам, таймеру, впечатление ухудшилось.
app rovinata
con l’ultimo aggiornamento avete rovinato l’app. perché non posso più personalizzare i focus e i break? Aggiornamento: app completamente inutile dato che non suona più la notifica della fine della sessione. Era difficile distruggere un’app così semplice, ma ci siete riusciti, complimenti!
Been using this for a couple of years, love the minimalistic approach and simplicity
Love it!
Used to be great but has gone downhill
All of the useful features have been made premium features, the layout seems to change almost daily making it difficult to use and access.
Best. Really.
Best.
Feedback on Missing Features
The app is great! I’d like to suggest adding a few features such as the ability to pause the timer from the notification center and a widget to view the current day’s status
Simple App, Greedy Company
I’m just going to cut to chase, this app is literally just a timer that reminds you to be productive.
That’s it.
There should be no reason you should be charging customers an inflated subscription model to use this app. I would understand if you reached out to an advertising agency to have ads put on and then do an ad removal tier or something simpler but a subscription to use an app that only reminds you to be productive is disgusting and lazy.
I would understand if this app had ground breaking processes that change lives but as a software engineer myself, I can tell there is absolutely nothing under the hood that is remotely impressive.
I encourage all to avoid this application and spending money on subscription models.
